Eunuchs

In the beginning, a long long time ago, there was UNIX and there was DOS. In the great Technological Evolution, DOS became extinct, and UNIX evolved into the most powerful operating system ever. It is the plumbing of all telecommunitations and the Internet. Linux, son of UNIX, is not doing badly either.

As I said, DOS is extinct, but the idea evolved into Windows. So, Windows is a monkey, and Linux is human.

Now, my question is this.

Why would anyone name such a powerful operating system after a bunch of guys with no nuts?

I think you're missing the full scope of this. Eunuchs are more (less) than guys without nuts. They're also missing the sausage part. If you take into account that, long ago, many Chinese chose to become eunuchs just to be allowed to serve the emperor... you can see they were clearly nuts. Which means they weren't eunuchs after all. Hence the name: unix.
